Student Critical Need Items:
This year, we will not be collecting textbooks or technology from any underclassmen who will be returning to our school system. If you will be attending a HCPSS school in the 20-21 school year, then you do not need to visit the school. However, we do want to help you retrieve any personal critical need items from the building. Critical need items include: medications, personal technology, or items that will be needed by you over the summer months. Therefore, we are hosting a pick-up event for anyone who indicates there is an item that meets the definition of 'critical need' that needs to be collected.
Students will not be permitted in the building to claim these items. Therefore, in order to find your items and have them ready for you to pick them up, we need to collect some information from you. Items that are of critical need for you will be retrieved and packaged for you on a designated date to be determined based on the number of people who communicate a need. Other non-critical items will be retrieved and distributed at a later date.
If you are not returning to HCPSS next school year, please visit us on the same dates and times to return any school owned materials.
Please complete this form at your earliest convenience: https://forms.gle/8LKWQhbXmQixT2Ky9
Pickup dates are as follows: June 8, 10, and 11 from 10:00am - 1:00pm
